This is consistant with most ideas of the current administration. The U.S. earlier this year moved long range bombers to Guam in a show of force to N.Korea. Bush was touting this as diplomacy when N.Korea, China and S.Korea started talking. Notice the U.S. was not involved in the talks. What happened is China was the adult in this situation and they talked to N.Korea and S. Korea. Since then, they had opened the border on a limited basis for buses of tourist to go across between north and south. Bush gets involved again and the talking stops and the tension goes up. He needs to quit playing this game of chikcen or brinkmanship with the world. He did it with the U.N. and his "either with us or against us" attitude. This led to freedom fries. Somehow the renaming of a potato product is very symbolic of this current administrations actions.
